Breaking the ice at Mt Egerton

Sunday 23 June saw the second VERi Red Plate ride for 2013, in the Mount Egerton/Ballan area. Only a hardy handful braved the sub zero temperatures, but those that did were rewarded with a challenging and interesting ride that served as a great warm-up for Harrow.

Over on the OzVMX forum, Luffy (KTM) had this to say:

"Well what a day, it started of white and -1 but when kitted up and set of out of camp it was amazing, and just got better and harder as it went, plenty of virgin woods hills and creek crossings, after one loop of about 36 Kim's we returned to camp, and every couldn't wait to have another go.

A few comments were thrown around that this was a good practice for Harrow and some thought, matched the type of course and skill. Required, Well done Drakie and others who done a great job of setting up this track and putting a big smile on our faces (and mud)!"

Special mention must go to Craig "Rosey" Rose who travelled down from Echuca and camped alone in the cold and forbidding camp site. He then managed to break both the clutch and brake perches on his IT250K in a spill on Sunday morning.

Drakie sets the pace at Mt Egerton on a Jawa.
